Explore the wide range of salary packaging benefits provided by the Government of South Australia

The Government of South Australia – working in partnership with Maxxia, the sole salary packaging provider under the South Australian Government Salary Sacrifice Arrangements (SAGSSA) – offers salary packaging as part of your workplace benefits program.

Australian Taxation Office (ATO) approved, salary packaging enables full-time, part-time and casual employees of the Government of South Australia to pay for certain expenses – with money set aside from their pre-tax salaries, potentially reducing their taxable income and increasing their disposable income.

Before you decide to enter into a salary packaging arrangement, the Government of South Australia and Maxxia recommend that you seek independent financial or other professional advice.

What benefits can most Government of South Australia employees package?

The types and range of expenses – and the amount you can choose to salary package – depends on the department you work in. But regardless of where you work or what benefits you choose, salary packaging could help to reduce the amount of income tax you pay. If you work for a Local Health Network, SA Ambulance or the Legal Services Commission, you could also salary package everyday living expenses, and costs such as mortgage and rent payments.

Novated leasing

Salary packaging a car could save you time and money

Did you know that as an employee of the Government of South Australia you can salary package the car you’ve always wanted – and potentially save on tax? It’s called novated leasing, but apart from “that thing where you save tax” what exactly is it?

Basically, a car is leased in your name, via your employer, and instead of paying with the money you have left over after tax, your lease is covered using funds from a combination of your pre and post-tax salary.

Added to that is the convenience factor: all your car’s running costs – fuel, insurance, servicing and the like – are rolled into one regular payroll deduction. No bill shock. No hassles.

Best of all, novated leases are 100 per cent approved by the Australian Taxation Office.
